Background 

Section 117 of the Carl D. Perkins 

Career and Technical Education Act of 

2006 (Pub. L. 115–224) (Perkins V or the 

Act), authorizes the Secretary to make 

grants to Tribally controlled 

postsecondary career and technical 

institutions that do not receive Federal 

support under Title I of the Tribally 

Controlled Colleges and Universities 

Assistance Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 1802, 

et seq.) or the Navajo Community 

College Act (Pub. L. 92–189; 85 Stat. 

646) for career and technical education 

programs for Native American students 

and for the institutional support costs of 

the grant. 

Current TCPCTIP grantees, selected 

based on the TCPCTIP notice inviting 

applications published in the Federal 

Register (84 FR 29854) on June 25, 2019 

(NIA), operate career and technical 

education programs for Native 

American students as authorized by 

section 117 of Perkins V (20 U.S.C. 

2327). The budget and project period for 

the two TCPCTIP grantees is scheduled 

to end with funds awarded in FY 2023. 

For these projects, the Secretary 

proposes to waive the requirements of 

34 CFR 75.250 and 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), 

which limit project periods to 60 

months and restrict project period 

extensions that involve the obligation of 

additional Federal funds. The Secretary 

makes these proposals because section 

117(i) of Perkins V authorizes 

appropriations for activities under 

section 117 of the Act, through FY 2024 

(20 U.S.C. 2327(i)). The Secretary also 

proposes to extend the project period for 

the two current TCPCTIP grantees (20 

U.S.C. 2327(a)) through FY 2027, if 

Congress continues to appropriate funds 

under the existing program authority. 

The proposed waiver and extension 

would enable the two current TCPCTIP 

grantees to request and continue to 

receive Federal funds beyond the 60- 

month limitation set by 34 CFR 75.250. 

Moreover, with the proposed waiver 

and extension, the Department would 

not announce a new competition or 

make new awards until FY 2027, if 

Congress continues to authorize and 

appropriate funds under the existing 

program authority. Instead, current 

TCPCTIP projects funded under the NIA 

could be continued at least through the 

FY 2027 budget and project period, if 

Congress continues to appropriate funds 

for TCPCTIP under the existing program 

authority. 

We believe that the proposed waiver 

and extension is in the public interest, 

given that the Navajo Technical 

University and the United Tribes 

Technical College are the only two 

eligible entities for the TCPCTIP 

program, and those entities are the 

current grantees. Running another 

competition in which the same entities 

would receive awards is not an effective 

use of Department and grantee 

resources. Further, allowing these 

grantees to continue their projects 

would provide continuity in the current 

projects and resources for the current 

beneficiaries of the grantees’ programs. 

If we announce the proposed waiver 

and extension as final, we will base our 

decisions regarding annual continuation 

awards on the program narratives, 

budgets, budget narratives, and program 

performance reports, submitted by 

current grantees, and the requirements 

in 34 CFR 75.253. Any activities to be 

carried out during the year or years of 

continuation awards would have to be 

consistent with, or be a logical 

extension of, the scope, goals, and 

objectives of each grantee’s application, 

as approved following the 2019 

TCPCTIP competition. If we publish the 

proposed waiver and extension as final, 

we would award continuation grants 

based on information provided to us by 

each grantee, indicating that it is making 

substantial progress performing its 

TCPCTIP grant activities. 

The proposed extension of the project 

period and waiver of 34 CFR 75.250 and 

75.261(c)(2) would not exempt the 

current TCPCTIP grantees from the 

appropriation account-closing 

provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), nor 

would they extend the availability of 

funds previously awarded to current 

TCPCTIP grantees. As a result of 31 

U.S.C. 1552(a), appropriations available 

for a limited period may be used for 

payment of valid obligations for only 

five years after the expiration of their 

period of availability for Federal 

obligation. After that time, the 

unexpended balance of those funds 

would be canceled and returned to the 

U.S. Treasury Department and be 

unavailable for restoration for any 

purpose (31 U.S.C. 1552(b)). 

Tribal Consultation: On September 5, 

2023, the Department solicited Tribal 

input 1 on the proposed waiver and 

extension for TCPCTIP, pursuant to 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments. Tribal members 

participated by a video conference 

platform. A total of 66 Tribal members 

and eight Tribal leaders participated. 

None of the participants raised 

objections to the proposed waiver and 

extension during the consultation or its 

written comment period that ended 

October 5, 2023. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waiver and extension would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

The only small entities that would be 

affected by the proposed waiver and 

extension are the two grantees selected 

based on the NIA currently receiving 

Federal funds. These are the only 

entities eligible to receive a grant under 

this program. 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waiver and extension would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on these entities because the proposed 

waiver and extension would impose 

minimal compliance costs to extend 

projects already in existence, and the 

activities required to support the 

additional year or years of funding 

would not impose additional regulatory 

burdens or require unnecessary Federal 

supervision. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

The proposed waiver and extension 

do not contain any information 

collection requirements. 

Intergovernmental Review 

The TCPCTIP is not subject to 

Executive Order 12372 and the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Information Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Proposed Extension 

AGENCY: Energy Information 

Administration (EIA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: EIA invites public comment 

on the proposed three-year extension, 

with change, of Form EIA–111 Quarterly 

Electricity Imports and Exports Report, 

as required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. Form EIA–111 collects 

information on U.S. imports and exports 

of electricity. Data are used to obtain 

estimates on the flows of electricity into 

and out of the United States. 

DATES: EIA must receive all comments 

on this proposed information collection 

no later than February 20, 2024. If you 

anticipate difficulty in submitting 

comments within that period, contact 

the person listed in ADDRESSES as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may only 

be sent electronically by email to 

EIA111@eia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Glenn McGrath at (202) 586–4325 or by 

email at glenn.mcgrath@eia.gov. The 

form and instructions are available at

electricity/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1905–0208; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Quarterly Electricity Imports and 

Exports Report; 

(3) Type of Request: Three-year 

extension with change; 

(4) Purpose: Form EIA–111 collects 

U.S. electricity import and export data 

on a quarterly basis. The data are used 

to measure the flow of electricity into 

and out of the United States. The import 

and export data are reported by U.S. 

purchasers, sellers and transmitters of 

wholesale electricity, including persons 

authorized by Order to export electric 

energy from the United States to foreign 

countries, persons authorized by 

Presidential Permit to construct, 

operate, maintain, or connect electric 

power transmission lines that cross the 

U.S. international border, and U.S. 

Balancing Authorities that are directly 

interconnected with foreign Balancing 

Authorities. Such entities report 

monthly flows of electric energy 

received or delivered across the border, 

the cost associated with the 

transactions, and actual and 

implemented interchange. 

(4a) Proposed Changes to Information 

Collection: There is a reduction in the 

number of survey respondents required 

to file EIA–111 reports. This reduces the 

annual estimated responses and 

associated burden hours. There is no 

change to the content collected on the 

EIA–111. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 153; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 612; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 918; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $80,196.48 

(918 burden hours times $87.36 per 

hour). EIA estimates that respondents 

will have no additional costs associated 

with the surveys other than the burden 

hours and maintenance of the 

information as part of the normal course 

of business. 

Comments are invited on whether or 

not: (a) The proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of agency functions, 

including whether the information will 

have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA 

can improve the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information it will collect; 

and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, such as automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
